Study of muscle and bone conditions in families
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain muscle and bone diseases show up in people and in their family members. It may help researchers better describe these conditions and improve future diagnosis and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You (or your doctor) have a muscle or bone disorder diagnosis
- You have a family member(s) also affected by related muscle and/or bone conditions
- You should be in a related family (not an unrelated person with a different condition)
- If your condition is not connected to the family pattern of muscle and bone disease, you may not qualify

This study collects blood and tissue samples from children with bone or growth plate problems to build a research database. It aims to better understand these conditions and may help improve future treatments.
This study looks at people and families with a rare muscle weakness condition that can be linked with Paget disease of the bone (and sometimes frontotemporal dementia). It aims to better describe how these conditions appear and relate, which can help future research and care.
This study looks at bone (skeletal) disorders to better understand possible genetic causes, especially when phosphate levels or bone growth are affected. You may join either if you (or your child) has a bone disorder, or if you’re an unaffected family member who might help compare results.
This study looks at genetic causes of skeletal (bone growth) disorders in people who show signs based on height and bone imaging. Genetic testing may help explain what’s behind the condition, especially when it seems inherited.
This study tracks people with bone diseases or problems with how their body handles calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals. Researchers want to understand how these conditions develop and change over time to help improve future treatments.
This study looks at how well your bones and muscles work together. By measuring your bone density and handgrip strength, doctors can better understand your bone health and find ways to keep you strong as you age.
